He didn't speak. He wouldn't. He couldn't. His throat had constricted, making it impossible to form words. He simply stood, stiff and unmoving, like a statue carved from rage.

He watched the machines advance, relentless and impersonal, against the familiar facade. He felt a throbbing ache behind his eyes, a pressure building to the point of explosion.

He clenched his jaw, tasted the metallic tang of blood in his mouth. The world narrowed to the demolition site, to the death of his past. He wanted to break something, to break everything.
